[…] Finally, as an example of Robby’s graciousness, he invited my daughter Ashley to the media preview of Food, Inc., knowing she is one of the top food bloggers in the world. Son Chris might have had something to do with this as well. Ashley’s review of the film and her delightful time with Robby and Marguerite are recorded in her blog Not Without Salt. […]

What beautiful pictures, and I love the design of your site! Glad I found it! There is something so ‘alive’ in pictures from a farmers market, and they are totally captured here. nice work!

Loved the post, indeed consumers have left their nutrition in the hands of totally suspect corporations, that happens everywhere, and most of the people are not even interested in checking the list of ingredients in their food… “some” prefer us to be ignorant and unaware.

Okay let me see if I can explain this. About 6 inches away from each tomato plant she had a plastic pot (you know the kind plants come in that you buy at the nursery). The pot would be dug into the dirt so that the top was level with the surface of the soil. Then she would pour water into the plastic pot. The reason for all of this is so that the water goes straight to the roots of the nearby tomato plant.
I hope I got all that right.

Excellent and informative post! Yes i read somewhere that if the entire world was vegetarian, world hunger would vanish… haha i have yet to give up meat, but i totally agree with you that it should be eaten less than veggies and fruits….

I am also looking forward to the film! And again, thank you for calling attention to eating healthily and environmental-consciously! 😀

I am so excited about this film and so happy to learn about it here. Part of the reason we left the US to make our chocolates was also so we could be closer to the source, and work in a country where most of the food supply has actually NOT been industrialized and mechanized. Ecuador has abundant, locally produced, non-mechanized agriculture in most areas still. This also includes dairy and beef production.

Definitely looking forward to seeing the film. I especially like how Robby talks about eating animal protein “as a taste” – not only is it ethically better, it’s way better for the environment if we aren’t all eating an entire chicken in one go.

But I’d love to correct one small note in your post: despite all the problems with factory farmed animals, chickens are actually not given hormones – it’s against USDA rules. See here: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Chicken_Food_Safety_Focus/index.asp
Often organic/free-range chicken packages say “No hormones added!” but that’s just as misleading as , for example, a salsa package saying “No cholesterol” – of course there wouldn’t be animal products (the only thing that has cholesterol) in vegetables!

I wonder if it will ever come to Salem? Sounds very interesting.

I cannot wait to see this film. It sounds like an educational, thoughtful success of a movie. I really enjoyed reading Omnivore’s Dilemma, and this movie seems to also emphasize the importance of seasonality and the superficiliaty of a simple label of “organic.” Can’t wait to see it!! Sorry I’ve been away for the past week; I had a good friend in town and wasn’t able to do much on the computer. I’m back now, though 🙂
